Sam Darnold tosses two touchdowns in loss Thursday

Sam Darnold completed 18-of-25 passing attempts for 240 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 30-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

The Vikings weren't able to pick up a win over the Rams on Thursday, but Darnold still played a pretty good game. He threw a pair of touchdowns and didn't have many big mistakes on the night, which kept Minnesota in the game despite their issues with penalties. He is having a good year so far and projects to improve with matchups against the Colts and Jaguars coming up in the next two weeks.

Sam Darnold throws touchdown in Week 7 loss to Lions

Sam Darnold completed 22-of-27 pass attempts for 259 yards, one touchdown, and one interception while also rushing four times for 39 yards in the Vikings' 31-29 Week 7 loss to the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold has cooled off behind center after a strong start to the season for a high-octane Minnesota offense, finishing with less than two passing touchdowns in each of the last two games for the Vikings. The quarterback will look to get back on track in Week 8 against the Los Angeles Rams.

Fantasy Impact

Sam Darnold tosses three touchdowns in Week 4

Sam Darnold completed 20-of-28 pass attempts for 275 yards, three touchdowns, and one interceptions in the Vikings' 31-29 win over the Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold also rushed for 15 yards on seven carries in the win. He connected on touchdown passes to Jordan Addison, Josh Oliver, and Justin Jefferson in the first half. Darnold continues to impress through the first four weeks of the season, but he will face a tough test against a strong Jets' defense in Week 5.

Sam Darnold (knee) good to go for Sunday

Sam Darnold (knee) is good to go for Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

Fantasy Impact

Darnold was listed on the injury report earlier in the week because of a knee injury, but he carries no injury designation heading into the weekend and will be good to go against the Packers. He's a worthwhile streaming candidate in most fantasy leagues.
